closing the door

I know this sounds silly, but how do you do it? There is no good place to grab on to when exiting the car. I was using the alluminum strip of the door handle but I leave finger prints, but do I want to leave prints on the paint? not the window?

Or do I don one white glove to close the door?

I'm using next to the window above the door handle, along the black rubbery part.

The door closes easily so just use the top corner of the door otherwise I use the handle and live with the prints.

I use the window but I don't leave finger prints. I push my palm up against the back edge and use that as leverage. It doesn't take much to get it going and then it closes shut under its own weight. I've had to teach my wife this technique and I still have to get onto her for not following orders (as usual). If the window is down, I use my palm to grap the top edge of the door where the weather stripping sits.

I also use the "inside" part of the door handle. The door closes with just a gentle fingertip push, any fingerprint is not visible. So simple.

HA HA HA!!! I gripe at my boyfriend for leaving fingerprints on my car when he gets out. And it's not even my Z!!! Glad to see there are people out there as neurotic as I am.
